Traffic management permit scheme

Working together to make a safe, efficient and sustainable highway network for everybody

On 30 March 2015 the traffic management permit scheme was put in place to help:

reduce disruption on the road network

improve network management

reduce delays to the public

promote a safer environment

reduce carbon emissions

All roadworks and activities on highways can reduce the amount of the street available to traffic and pedestrians. This can also cause problems for businesses and local residents. The scale of disruption is different depending on the type of activities and the capacity of the street. Activities where the traffic flow is close to, or exceeds, the physical capacity of the street can cause congestion, disruption and delays.

The Brighton & Hove Traffic Management Permit Scheme will improve the strategic and operational management of the road network through better planning, scheduling and management of activities to minimise disruption to any people using the road or pavement. We will be able to use it to coordinate activities throughout the highway network, making sure disruption to those competing for space or time in the street, including traffic, can be reduced in a positive and constructive way.
